Well this is the new one and I'm happy is an understatement - feels like new cause it has only traveled 900km :-)

i would recommend putting some colourlock leather shield on it asap to preserve the matte finish. unfortunately these OEM wheels become glossy and lose that matte leather grip very quick without protection.

That might be a good idea - will have a look, never heard of it.

Installed Competition seats from a 2016 M3 and it was a simple swap. Used my old seat ECU and belt fastener from the M-sport seats and that was all. No coding, nothing. Made a small mistake and the airbag light came on but could reset it with Bimmerlink. The seats are so much better, it's incredible.

Love the build.! Comp seats look amazing in there.

Thank you ! It's like the seats constantly hugging me :-)

My polished Beemer with new mounted F80 boot spoiler

More cool stuff has arrived and I finally found the matching extended merino leather door cards to my seats. Stitching is grey white instead of pure white. Also found the matching merino leather middle arm wrest and cup holder/leg bolster. Rear door cards with sun blinds are still in pieces for deep cleaning and an rear electric sunshade is on its way. Only need to find a dashboard but pretty much every used one has a blown airbag.

Have cleaned the parts with "colourlock leather cleaner strong" cleaner and they came out like new with factory matt finish. Couldn't be happier.

How did you buy the F80 carbon fiber trim?

It's the OEM F80 trim set

[Bori_san]

Nice one, it is possible to add somehow a line control to bmw without it?

Small update from today. Installed the rear sunshade and I'm again a step closer to full optioned. It's only static at the moment but I have an appointment at local indy shop for coding on the weekend. I'm still looking for a dashboard but good ones in the right color and with right stitching and HUD are rare. The HK sound system is on my list next and I have started to collect plastic parts, cables, speakers, etc.








...... new painted rear spoiler and carbon exhaust tips.

Thanks bro ! Brakes yes, already bought the callipers but cluster no. It wasn't available for my 2016 model so I'm not counting this into the full option list.

The cup holder was removed from a 2016 Competition. That particular design "leather" cup holder was available during the whole production period for the F80, pre LCI and LCI are the same in this case

No, pre lci amd lci cup holder is different, take a look again, lci has a sliding door while pre lci is not. That’s why i ask if you wanna sell your lci one, i am interested

Part number 12 is one of many options for the LCI - trust me mate, you could order both - the sliding option is number 13 but it's not available with leather. Most normal LCI F3X cars came with the option 13 and that's why you might think that every LCI has to have the slide door.

Center console update:

F80 Competition cup holder with leather leg rest

F80 Competition adjustable Merlino leather arm rest

M-Performance side decals are gone and I ve replaced the Exhaust tips with Carbon ones. Added the black 330i badge again as I think it belongs on the car. I'm trying to find the right balance when adding OEM parts and the older I get the less I like M Performance/M badges but that's just me. The seat M badge is kind of OK as it doesn't say M3, just M and it almost looks like the factory fender M Sport badges (removed on my car)

will forever be jealous of the merino leather and sunshades haha

My new installed M-Performance V1 Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fibre trim. "Made in Germany". It feels so much better than the F80 Nappa leather steering wheel that I have updated just a few months ago and it's a different Galaxy in comparison to the n normal M-Sport one.

WOW! Amazing build. Keep up the good work. I know its expensive and a pain to do but a full leather dash would take this to a whole new level.
